Exclamation OT: What you think?

So, as some of you may know, I have been looking into a rig I can just total. Well not on purpose but something that I be "hmm I wonder if I can make that...oh well who cares!"

I came across two rigs I am interested. Both I bet I can talk down but I wanted to get the people of this forum thoughts cause believe it or not I respect many people here.

Here they are:

Ramcharger with 38s, no cat (need to pass DEQ): http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/1032552496.html

And a Jimmy K5 42s: http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/1028195949.html

Let me know what you think, thanks

I like the Ram Charger better than the jimmy, Just my Opinion.
It also look like you might be able to get the ram a lot cheaper than what the guy is asking for it. On the other hand, who knows? The other guy might break some too.
Its a tough call. I couldnt really so how good the tires were on the charger, but if they are decent, you should have a pretty good deal there.

there both would be nice rigs, but the echeck thing on older cars/truck older than so manys year don't have to go to echeck.

what i'm trying to say like ohio or the way it was cars/truck older than 30years or sumthing don't need to be tested.

so you may want to see if then is a cut off of cars in you state.... hope i make sence

If your planing on just breaking it go for the Ramcharger. If you were buying a nice trail rig to have fun and not break on purpose I would say the k5. I think the K5 looks sweet the changer looks beat.

Yeah I'll be that 1% lol

Hahaha the 1%! Ok I'll throw one more into the mix...well cause I can!

A Ford Bronco...first rig I learned how to drive. Find it here: http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/1034650048.html

I did talk to Charger guy and he said the tires are at 50% (which probably means 40%! ) Also said the lowest he can go would be like 1700.

More thoughts?

Oh and in Oregon is it ANY vehicle 1975 and older needs to be tested...ouch 34 years or younger lol

One last note the K5 tires are at 80-90% the guy said.
